Those items look really nice, good enough for a legendary set. And I believe it takes a lot of time and effort to model those.
However, I expected more from this Misadventure. Now I doubt we'll see the expansion this year.

I don't know why this was your expectation. Crate has given no indication of when the expansion will be released. We can make some inferences based on what they've said and the return to bi-weekly updates, but that is purely speculation on our part.

Those sets of armor look great. I really like the heavy armor. I do wish we had some form of transmog, I would totally put that on my warder.

I was about to ask on the source of this info, but then I saw you're Praetorian, so probably you know better.
That's kinda sad But even very approximate info is better than no info at all)

You can determine releases loosely by the development history of Grim Dawn. Updates tend to come roughly in 2 month cycles. Based on that, you can estimate that v1.0.0.7 will likely be released in December. The expansion is the next release planned after 1.0.0.7 and involves significantly more content, so it is likely to require at a minimum another 2 months. If I had to guess, it will probably require 3-4 months after 1.0.0.7.

I actually like the look of those armours, even though it does look a lot like generic "epic" fantasy armour... if anything, it appears to be ceremonial armour that somehow survived the Grim Dawn intact (and polished) and is now being put to actual combat use (where it'll outperform other, more practical and functional pieces, because that's how progression works ...).
